When Adelaide first came to Abbot, she was so
quiet that we didn't recognize her capabilities
until she started taking care of Cynthia. On the
strength of that we made her president of our
A. C. A., and what a splendid one she has been!
We all take off our hats to you, Adelaide, and at
the same time wish we had the brains that lie
under yours. We know that sometime you will
be given a position right next to Saint Peter,
so that you can ring the gong that calls the little
angels to pray.

Everyone was a bromide until Barb came into
the world. But who can help being a sulphite
when she is around? It can be truthfully said
of her: "Laugh, and the world laughs with you."
The third floor front will always echo with her
hearty laugh. But taking into consideration
Barb's real talent, we have overlooked a prom-
ising basketball career. For not only can she
shoot a basketball into a basket, but a lump of
sugar into a full cup of coffee. Unfortunately the
basketball season was over when we discovered
this hidden talent in Barb's complex.

"Annie" is so versatile that it is hard to know
where to begin. As Stu. G. President she has
carried us through a most successful year.
We should have suffered badly without her
services on the tennis team, and can we ever
forget the little costume of orange skirt, middy,
black stockings and sneakers that she so faith-
fully donned every time she appeared on the
courts? Her outstanding gift, however, is her
alluring soprano voice, which has held us spell-
bound at two big recitals this year. One was at
Intervale, where Miss Bailey was guest of honor,
and the other in Davis Hall. Both times she
was encored amid storms of applause. What a
future!!

Edie is one of our most versatile members.
Without her, Odeon would indeed be a ship
without a rudder, and what would a Courant be,
published without one of her poems? She is
rather reticent about bringing forth her literary
productions, but when one finally appears, it
certainly is worth while waiting for. As " Celia"
in the Senior Play she made the character lasting
in our memories, and we can never forget how
darling Edie looked in her little shepherdess
costume. Just out of mere curiosity, I am won-
dering how many candles were left lighted on
your last birthday cake after you had given a
lusty blow. We're betting on one candle, Edie!

MARION ELIZABETH BURR

"Burr"
Manchester, Connecticut
Wellesley Two years

Arm Band '26
Though we consider Marion one of our absent-
minded friends, that is quite natural, for are not
all artists absent-minded? And she has a lot of
talent, so it is perfectly justifiable if her mind
flies away into the airy regions of dreamy art at
times. But she can stay down here sometimes
too, when she makes up her mind to it. We have
found her very convincing and to the point in
her arguments in English class.

Kay, our class athlete — what could we pos-
sibly do without her? But if you should decide
to follow the example of so many athletes and
wend your way to Hollywood, as Red Grange
did, do put it off until June, Kay! The "Lonely
Knight" would miss you so much in choral.
But when we get away from the irrelevant and
come down to real facts, we unquestioningly
recognize Kay as a girl who has done more than
her best for Abbot. And we can't say anything
more about her without adding that she is
"divinely tall and most divinely faire."

Class Treasurer '24 Class Secretary '26

Fidelio '23, '24, '25
"Coke" is another pillar belonging to the
little cluster of " five-yearers " ; and what a good,
substantial one she is, too! What could our class
do without her faithful roll-calling and record
keeping? Who was it who took the responsi-
bility of the management of our Senior rings,
and so painstakingly carried on the tedious
business, with all the endless correspondence
involved? And who will be missed tremendously
when '26 has gone? Echo answers: " 'Coke'."

Although she has been at Abbot only two years
Cope is among the best loved and most prom-
inent girls. Sweet, harmonious sounds from up-
stairs in room 53 are always a sure sign that
Cope and Perk are at it again — singing as they
used to do in Sherman last year. Besides being a
singer, Cope is also a great athlete, an actor, and
a frequenter of Cambridge. Yes, Orlando, you're
a fine young fellow.

Senior Play '26 English V Play '25

When you hear a soft, delightful Southern
accent, somewhere in the offing, if you will follow
it up you'll find Gertrude, oftentimes telling
some fascinating tale about Belize to a group of
enthusiastic listeners. If you ever want to
know anything about Current Events or Euro-
pean History, Gertrude's the person to ask. Not
only does she take admirable, yes admirable
care of Ruth, but also acts as our trusty Baby
Ben on the third floor front.

RUTH COLLEY DEADMAN
Wakefield, Massachusetts

Two years
Fidelio '25 Arm Band '25, '26

"I think sleep will do me more good." No,
this isn't Rip Van Winkle, it's only Ruth. You
can hear these words of wisdom if you come
around during the cold grey hours of the morn-
ing, just before a Psyc. or a History test. This
doesn't mean that Ruth doesn't study, though.
Just look at her English rr.id-year for proof of
that. Well, Ruth, you say that you haven't
decided what you are going to do next year?
We all know that you can get a recommendation
as private secretary anyway. You don't believe
me? Just ask English V or your roommate.

JEAN JOHNSTON DONALD
Andover, Massachusetts

Spanish Play '25 Senior Play '26

Hockey Numerals '24, '25
Jean is one of Abbot's male impersonators.
First she appeared as a dashing young Spaniard
and then again as an English country fellow.
Jean has had a hand also at hockey, where her
mighty hits are very dangerous looking. But
she is of a gentle nature and not greatly to be
feared.

Q. E. D. '25, '26 Bible Group Leader '26

Doug has such a satisfying personality, which
is so characteristic of just Doug, that things don't
seem quite natural unless she is around. Quiet
though she may appear in Room 1, should one
happen down on the second floor front after
nine o'clock (and possibly before) one might
hear the infectious little giggle, running up and
down the scale, reinforced by Flora's more
substantial roar. Weedie is extremely capable,
but the point is to make her think so too. When
the latter is accomplished, beware! She may
become a Mrs. Napoleon Bonaparte.

Odeon '26

Ruth is one of the few in Abbot who has a

large vocabulary and uses it correctly. As a

sonnet writer, and in fact a writer in general, she

has made quite a name for herself. Although

she is generally very quiet in English class, she

comes out with fine marks, so it must be that

she is constantly imbibing knowledge from the

wise remarks of the rest of the class.

Fonty by that? Class officer, dramatist, honor
roller and songster — she is all of these and what
a lot of things besides! Courteous when she
ought to be, and jolly when she ought, and a
great party-giver too. We Seniors surely have
had fun at the Baronial Hall!

Prowess in the field of literature is greatly to
be envied, especially such headway as has been
made by Emily in her two years here. She's
quiet, but oh! what a wealth of ideas lie hidden
beneath that pretty hair until her ready pen
releases them from its tip. She not only has
given us a great pleasure with her literary ability
but has aided others in doing so by her efficient
management as Literary Editor-in-chief of the
Courant. She climbs to dizzy heights too, on the
Honor Roll. But there are times when she throws
all her dignity to the winds as she tears around
the basketball field.

DOROTHY GILLETTE

Senior Play '26
From all accounts, Dot seems to be a live
wire on the second floor wing and her room is a
general gathering place on ten o'clock nights.
We suspect that Dot may some day found an
orphan asylum in Danvers, and we feel sure that
all the orphans will love her because of her kindly
disposition, her love of children and her broad
smile which is really quite winning.

If only some of us could have just a scrap of
Glid's brains, how clever we might be! Not
content with the mediocre, Glid aspires to the
highest in everything. She is not afraid of hard
work, and she perhaps best fits, more than any-
one else, the old adage: "Work while you work;
play while you play." Glid certainly does the
latter on the hockey field and without her on the
forward line — well, we just couldn't imagine it.
She has great ability in all lines and we are ex-
pecting much of her when she gets out into the
cold, cold world.

Last year everyone stood a little in awe of
Patty, as she was on "Stu.G." But this year
she has been just "Patty," and everyone likes
her. She spends many weary hours writing
strange manuscripts, which nobody may see, but
they aren't treacherous; they're only editorials
for the Courant. Although Madame Craig has
christened her " Patty-je-n'ai-pas fini", yet she
always does finish finally, and even manages to
get on the Honor Roll.

When Gracie has left the shelter of the Home-

Which will it be, Gracie? Are you going to take
your contagious laugh to the comedy stage, or
are you going to make your reputation in
Shakespeare, and show people what a "heavenly
Rosalind" you can be? Whichever it is, we
know you will shine and carry the same pep to

Little Saye is quiet until a hidden spring,
somewhere within her, is pressed, and she's off —
all mirth, and just bubbling over, and her little
giggle is positively contagious. She streaks
around the basketball field, dodging in and out,
and if the ball is anywhere in Saye's vicinity, she
will get it. We'll never forget her as the indif-
ferent "Property Man" in the Senior-Mid
Play, and we wonder if the newspaper she so
studiously held before her face was really right-
side up.

"Pork Chop" has got real ability in dramatics
and we wonder what A. D. S. and the Seniors
would do without her and her talent. We think
she has a great future ahead of her and 'we wish
her all luck. A fellow Senior entering the Senior
parlor is almost always sure to find Jane re-
clining. Studying Current Events? Maybe so,
but she's smiling in spite of it. She's always on
the broad grin!

Although "Cyn" is not our class baby in age,
she surely is in looks; for what could be more
adorably infant-like than her wide blue eyes and
closely cropped hair. In order to live up to her
looks she is constantly effervescing, and has
also won for herself the name of "peace-maker"
on the fourth floor. And, oh Cyn! Although
you may not know it, we have found out about
that sweet-tooth of yours, too. Does anyone
want Hershey bars? Go to Cyn, she won't
fail you.

EDITH KIMBALL IRELAND

" Edie"

Newburyport, Massachusetts

Two years
Arm Band '25, '26 Senior Play

Edie has such a bubbling-over and cheerful
disposition that it is hard to imagine her cross and
irritable. Maybe she does get that way, but
we have never seen her. Perhaps it is because
she pours out her wrath on the heads of the
members of her nursery and menagerie, and has
none left for us. At times we notice that the
bunny and puppy are sitting up rather straight,
and have a crestfallen air about them. Also —
(don't tell anyone) three of her goldfish were
found dead one morning.

Ruth, like her roommate, is another one of the
quiet members of the Class of '26, but it is the
silence of knowledge, not of ignorance. She says
so many things that are worth-while that she is
a more than admirable Bible Group leader. We
did not know that she had such latent dramatic
ability either, until she appeared in that charming
English V Play last year.

"Now I ask you," what would we have done on
the Class Book Board without Bud's able assist-
ance? When she got on the job the ads just

For three years Lucie has been a prominent
figure in the tennis history of Abbot. She has
conquered many foes, not only on the court, but
in the class-room, for she takes the Honor Roll
as a matter of course. When Lucie graduates,
the Western Union will go into a state of insol-
vency; Miss Jenks's time will hang heavy on her
hands; Miss Bailey will forget how to read, and
the messenger-boy's bicycle will grow rusty with
disuse. That's all right, Lucie, we all can't have
Ernies for brothers. The Class of '26 claims
Lucie and Edie as worthy upholders of the
United States motto, "United we stand; divided
we fall."

The Class of '26 without its Suzzy would be

affairs of the nation quite so satisfactorily?
Who else could pour just the right kind of oil on
troubled waters? Who but Suzzy, mighty as
to determination and shinguards, could so nobly
guard the hockey goal? Who in the Senior class
could write one song without her cheerful and
substantial aid? Suzzy trails behind her a long
list of accomplishments, one of which is playing

"Laugh and grow fat." Emily is probably the
exception that proves the rule. If she were not,
she would have joined Barnum and Bailey's long
ago. Room 30 undoubtedly has enough laughter
filling its cracks and crannies, after two years of
Emily, to tide it over till she comes back for her
fortieth reunion in 1966. Despite this, Emily is
capable of being quite serious-minded at times;
as, for instance, in the heated Q. E. D. debates,
when she expounds her theories in no uncertain
terms. Some day Abbot may be proud to claim
her as one of the leading stateswomen of our
country.

We are quite sure that sometime soon Flop

point out the wonders to be seen on the tours.
If anyone is in doubt about this, let her ask the
History of Art class about the time Flop took us
through McKeen hall and expounded upon Greek

are in need of this expert person, you had best
look in Dot's room, for you are sure to find her

say that every genius has his own peculiarities, so
this must be one of Fi's. (For a complete list, see
Gret.) Music is her medium, and Abbot, as
well as '26, is proud to have so able a musician
among its members. Frazzy stands out, too, as
class and school cheer leader. She organized and
led a splendid basketball team with the finest of

add that another of her peculiarities is snakes.

to us when she took the leading part in "The

Olive has always been an unobtrusive little
person and we hardly were aware that she was
around unless we caught sight of her unmatch-
able rosebud complexion. But when we went
up to Intervale, she seemed to have found her
native haunt, for Olive, with her soft white
sweater and toboggan cap, was the center of all
eyes. Also she has an irresistible giggle, and if
you happen in that secluded little nook on the
second floor front, you will be certain to hear it.

Gret is one of the pillars of our class, and the
success of our Senior year has been largely due to
her. As Class President she has shown great
executive ability in handling every situation, and
in putting things through. The Abbot stage will
indeed be forlorn without her, for she has con-
tributed much in the way of fine acting. We will
not soon forget her as Touchstone. Although
studious and thoughtful at times, she can always
find some humor in the most serious situation.
Leavenworth, Kansas, is a long way off, and is,
perhaps, "one of the little country towns along
the way," but if Gret is a typical specimen,
Abbot says "Come on, Leavenworth!!"

The bark was launched in '21,

With a crew of ten or more

They unfurled sails and hauled in ropes

In a manner known of yore.

The port in view was '26,
Four stops before the end.
But what a lot there was to do,
'Til "No more sails to tend."

It meant building Caesar's bridges,

And counting lobster's toes.

It meant constructing queer-shaped figures,

And reciting English prose.

It wasn't all good sailing, though,
There came many a wintry squall,
But it gave the crew fine training,
Which we know counts most of all.

Midyears and finals were "on deck,"

As we anchored at every dock,

By some they were hailed as a beacon-light,

By others, a dangerous rock.

Thus on we sailed for five whole years
With '26 in view,

Sometimes the sky was a dubious grey,
But it often cleared to blue.

The ship changed hands at every port,
And officers chosen by all,
They guided us with a steady hand
Through many a stormy squall.

The Abbot Circle 1926

Gret Vanderschmidt was our captain bold,
Fonty, her staunch first mate,
The log was kept by Alice Cole,
Perk, our purser, kept books straight.

Anstiss Bowser is the look-out,
Who looks around to see
Just what is going on about
And wards off mutiny.

The hard test came in the final stretch,
When we really had to fight
The heavy storms and rocky shoals,
But — we're the purple and white.

This fact alone can answer why
The ship still rides in state
It may be battle-worn and scarred,
But it rides — awaiting fate.

Its race is nobly finished now,
With its colors floating high,
Its spirit will live forever,
The purple and white for aye.

Above, when the bright sun has left us,
And the sky is a grackle-head blue,
There glows in the distant horizon
A smouldering purple hue.

"Oh, wonderful wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful, and yet again
wonderful, and after that out of all whooping!" — "As You Like It."

In this day and age it is said that the adjective "wonderful " is used for such
trivial things that it loses the fulness of its meaning. But in Shakespeare's time,
it was used only properly, so we turn to his quotation to be very sure you under-
stand that in saying Intervale was wonderful, we mean it.

No one could have wished for more perfect weather. Even Miss Bailey, that
inveterate "Intervale-goer", said that it was really all that could be hoped for.
We felt the softness of Intervale snow as it came down, and we felt its softness
when we fell off skis and toboggans. Between our "uprisings" and "down-
sittings," we ate — oh! how we ate!

However, because we expect that you will be there some day, we will not try
to describe in any kind of detail those three glorious days in the mountains.
Descriptions of those days would be useless, for that matter, for they are a pleas-
ure that must be experienced before it can be fully understood and appreciated.
It was almost with tears that we said goodbye to Intervale, and to that most
lovable of guides, Mr. Bassett.

And that's not all to do.
But p'raps that's all we'd better say,
For you'll be there some day.

Of course we're glad to see you, Abbot,
And thereby hangs our tale.

Tune — "It's a Long Way to Tipperary")

It's a hard grind to be a Senior,

And to get to Intervale.

But when Midyears were past and over

And we looked so thin and pale;

We packed up our good old woolies

In our little steamer trunks.

And we rode the engine to the mountains.

And forgot about our flunks.

Then it's a great life to be a Senior,
And to play the whole day long.
We go skijoring and bacon-batting,
And we take the food along.
And then it's time to pack up our woolies;
So we throw them in our trunks.
And back we come to dear old Abbot,
With a smile to face our flunks.

Sure a little bit of Heaven

Fell from out the sky one day
And it nestled in New Hampshire

Not so many miles away.
And when the angels found it

Sure, it looked so sweet and fair,
They said, "Suppose we leave it

For it is so peaceful there."
So, they sprinkled it with sunshine

Just to make the pinetrees grow.
They're the finest ones that can be found

No matter where you go.
And they placed the mountains round it

Just to keep away the gale,
And when they had it finished

Sure, they called it Intervale!

As I sat in the station, waiting for a train, I observed suitcases — big ones,
little ones, shiny black ones, and old straw ones. And how characteristic they all
were of their owners! An Italian immigrant went by, tugging a dilapidated straw
suitcase which bulged at the corners. It probably contained all the poor woman's
wordly possessions, and, like her, needed repair. Next came Mr. NouveaU Riche
with his suitcases plastered with foreign labels which he had bought at home. I
glanced up. What prima donna could this be? There was a porter, struggling
under the burden of hatboxes, suitcases, band-boxes and a tennis racquet! Fol-
lowing, was a young lady clasping an exotic little Parisienne doll in one hand, and
a bunch of roses in the other. Her fame was all to make, however! it was just an

There was a time when the hairpin played an important part in keeping
milady's hair handsomely in place. It is untrue to say that it doesn't do so now, but
certainly its use has decreased, even in the last ten years. I wonder what the hair-
pin thinks about it. It must be quite distracting to lose one's place in society.
Of course it can be put to other uses besides holding up milady's hair. Indeed,
the hairpin makes a fine buttonhook, when such is missing. But alas, that usage
is dying out, because we haven't the button shoe as of old.

Here at Abbot, we have a tree within the famous circle, which is called "The
Hairpin Tree." Off and on we have individual contests to see who can find the
most hairpins to hang upon the tree. Today the tree is quite a curiosity. It
contains hairpins of many varieties of size, shape and color. As long as our
famous "Hairpin Tree " lasts, no young lady at Abbot will ever fail to know what
a hairpin looked like. Helen Larson

Who can imagine a recital at Abbot without Charles? Often he appears
before the performers themselves do, to give the note for the tuning of the violins
behind the scenes. Later he comes in to close the piano; then he reopens it. It
seems frequently necessary to exchange the stool for a bench, or vice versa. If
a group is to play he carefully brings in chairs and music-racks, and arranges
them with absolute precision. The air of naturalness and perfect ease with which
he goes through his part of the program is truly remarkable. His amused grin
when we applaud him by mistake is most infectious, and makes the time between
the numbers go much faster. Margaret Stirling

Of all the friendly objects about Abbot, there is none quite so warm and
delightful as the hall radiator. Its warmth after the bitter cold of outdoors is
soothing; while its magnetic personality draws you to it, and its cosy and cheery
heat makes you reluctant to leave its intimacy.

What a popular meeting place the radiator is for all! It hears strange and
conflicting gossip, but never starts trouble by breathing a thing it hears; and what
a comforting glow it sends through you when you are waiting in fear and trembling
to enter the office on a perilous errand.

How strong and patient the radiator seems when you come to it in a frenzy over
an examination. It is entirely passive, yet it quietly sends out its protective warmth
to calm you. Changes of many sorts take place, but this warm, faithful friend,
the radiator, remains the same throughout them all. Jane Ruth Hovey

Moss-grown and old
Within his sheltered niche —
Unperturbed, inscrutable,
He views his world —
This garden nook.

Lo! the caressing brown of whirling moths

In the ling'ring summer dusk,

A glint of gold in this limpid pool

Fringed by pencil'd iris fair —

Fireflies in aimless course

Pursue the unseen paths of the dark.

Bamboo leaves stir with cool wind-songs
And shadowy pine-trees croon.
A night-hawk moans in a distant shade

I slip away to the edge of the pool
And await the rising moon.

Waite for him to come. The Sun had gone down and now a cool Breese came
Wright into the House. Suddenly my little sister, a Hardy youngster, came in.

"Be Goodnow," I said, "and I'll give you a Graham cracker."

She made no Ripley, but began to Monan Nash her teeth. Then she sobbed :
"This afternoon I was Friskin down the Lane, and a Bullen a cow began to Chase
me. I ran into some Burrs and tore my Bloomers and scratched my Hyde and
now it Burns."

Just then he came. I was so happy that I thought I'd Dyer faint, but he was
in a Gay mood and wanted to take me out.

"Watson tonight at the Colonial?" he asked my sister.

"Don't Kidder," I Warrened him. "She'll think you want to take her
along."

"I'll Skinner and Locker up if she comes," he said. She turned White and
ran away.

"I'm Amesse," he said. "I didn't mean to frighten her. By the way, I
haven't eaten yet."

So I brought him some Hammond French Pease. Then we went off in his
Rolls Roys.

"We'll Parker here in front of the theater," he said. "Abbot she might be
stolen, even Marceau because she's new. There's Bean a lot of trouble about
such things down here. Let's go out in the country.

The fresh Ayers Braced us and we whirled off.

" I felt like a Deadman before I met you dear," he said. " Burt now my heart
is Hovey with love for you. Would Gillette me kiss you?"

"Be Goodwillie," I replied, "or I shall have to be very Blunt."

"Aw," he answered, "Wooyenaka fellow down?"

"Nay," I said, "let's Leavitt at that. When Willauer wedding be?"

As for the Riest of what we did, and Howe we did it, what's the use of Putnam
down?

Bid us Godspeed, O Mother, as we go.
Your sheltering gates are flung ajar,
What life now holds for us we may not know,
The future gleams afar.

For fair have been your ivy-mantled walls,
And dear to us the Circle's green;
The shadow of your peace about us falls,
And on these paths serene.

In after years though we are far away
Our hearts will turn again to thee,
And here again will tread each quiet way
With love in memory.

parting ftpmn

Father, I know that all my life

Is portioned out for me;
The changes that are sure to come

1 1 : I do not fear to see ; : 1 1
But I ask Thee for a present mind

Intent on pleasing Thee.

I ask Thee for a thoughtful love

Through constant watching wise.

To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
|| : And to wipe the weeping eyes; :

And a heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.

Wherever in the world I am,

In whatso'er estate,
I have a fellowship of hearts

1 1 : To keep and cultivate ; : 1 1
And a work of lowly love to do

For the Lord, on whom I wait.

So I ask Thee for the daily strength,
To none that ask denied,

And a mind to blend with outward life
|| : While keeping at thy side; : ||

Content to fill a little space
If Thou be glorified.

The height of our training-table careers was reached on November 4th, when
we awoke to a bright, sunshiny morning, which seemed to be made to order for
us. Our enthusiasm was at a high pitch, and even the donning of the "P. TVs"
didn't serve to dampen it. Four special cars awaited our arrival at Morton Street.
At last, the long-heralded day had come, and we were off for Bradford.

The Bradford girls, dressed in yellow and white, with little yellow and white
caps, presented a very picturesque appearance, banked up on the steps of the big
main building.

After the usual welcome songs, we were borne by our respective hostesses to
the tennis-courts, where we watched two very exciting matches: "Annie" and
Lucie played a superb game of doubles, and it was not until the last point of the
last game was played that we knew who had the victory.

After croquet and clock golf, we were escorted to the gym, where a royal
feast was awaiting us. Gathered outside, with Miss Coats and Miss Bailey as our
inspirations, we sang lustily to each other.

When Bradford had given us a very admirable exhibition of archery in some
interclass contests, we walked through the woods, and came out upon the hockey
and basketball fields, where we watched two well-matched teams make some good
plays. The basketball game was nip and tuck up to the moment when the last
whistle blew, which signified the end of our day, with a score of forty-five for
Bradford, against our five.

But as the goodbye songs were sung on the big stairway, we realized what
fine spirit existed between the two rival schools, and what true and lasting friend-
ships we had made that day.

"As You Like It" suddenly walked out "from between its leathern covers and
became a true, tangible and delicious comedy, with that vivid sparkle of life that
glows in an Arden made real after existing on a bookshelf only as a dream. Being
a favorite plot and a familiar one, its ravelings and unravelings had a more fas-
cinating touch because of our intimacy with them.

In the castle, that old-time sense of chivalry was prevalent, and our sym-
pathies were tangled up immediately in the irresistible love of Orlando and his
beautiful Rosalind. Rosalind's banishment was not too pathetic, for we were
revived by the eager and amusing jest of her leaving, dressed as a lad, with her
cousin Celia as a peasant maid, for the fair forest of Arden. After all, they were
having a wonderful time out of life.

So we lived and laughed again with the charming Ganymede and Aliena,
the heroic banished Duke, and the quick-tongued Touchstone, under the ideal
shade of Arden's familiar trees, watching love blossom and tangle and finally end
in lilting happiness, and satisfaction to everyone, not to speak of our eager, inter-
ested selves.

There is a witchery in swaying crinolines and in the shine of satin, in powdered
hair and in the dignified measures of a minuet. This is the story of a young girl
at a dance on St. Valentine's Day. She loses her highly prized fan, and two ardent
lovers are eager to find it, for the reward is the last minuet, and the girl herself.
Fair Nancy does not know whether she would have Hugh or Ralph, but Hugh, who
has stolen the fan, returns it and wins a bonny bride.

Let us hope that we are not too old to enjoy the sight of Kings and Queens, and
of a little peasant boy, crowned as in the good old fairy tales. When convention,
seconded by the King's great-aunt, drove a lovely queen away, and happiness
could not enter the gilded palace because of propriety, little David became a
friend of the Queen, and she, in return, knighted him "Sir David-Little-Boy."
The Queen returned to the palace and became the true Queen and counsellor of
the King. As the play closes, Sir David-Little-Boy is not a rapturous prince, but
just a tired little boy, sung to sleep by his mother, who sees a great future for her
little son.

Coincidence made the lounge of a hotel a trysting-place for a mother, her
son and daughter. We enjoyed seeing Mrs. Briggs finally married to a former
lover, and her daughter successful in finding the one man. But how piteous is the
sight of young Lancelot Briggs's shattered romance, when the attractive young
widow, for whom he had a sudden "unexplainable feeling," a "sort of don't you
know," and "he-would-make-her-happy-forever" feeling, is found, in the end, to
be betrothed to another.

A fascinating bit of medieval France in song and drama was shared with us on
April twentieth by the members of the French department. The well-known and
long-anticipated comedy of "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" proved well
worth waiting for. We smiled at the antics of Gille and Alizon ; we laughed at the
doctor and his earnest little surgeon; we sympathized and suffered with the judge
in his trials and tribulations. The fine synopsis and the splendid acting made
great knowledge of French unnecessary, and the whole performance, as to both
costuming and acting, was charmingly colorful.

When A. D. S. presented "Why the Chimes Rang," we witnessed a very
charming, well interpreted little play, which contained mingled laughter and tears.
Laughter for Steen and his unsatiable appetite; tears for Holger and his sweet
unselfishness in staying at home to care for the old woman when he wanted so
very much to go with Steen to the great cathedral service on Christmas Eve. As
Holger at last reached the cathedral, the chimes, which had remained silent as the
many rich gifts were laid on the altar, burst forth into tumultuous, glorious music
when the boy presents his mite for the Christchild.
